Butter a common pudding dish....line it with thinish slices
of bread, and butter...
Then spread a layer of apples over which grate lemon & sugar.
Pile up alternate layers of apple & grated lemon & sugar
considerably above the edge of the dish as it will sink in baking.
Soak slices of bread the while in boiling milk....and lay them
at the top of all things....
Then butter another dish, and cover the edifice and bake
it four hours.
